Explanation:

In a large population, 62% of the people have been vaccinated. If 4 people are randomly selected,

what is the probability that at least one of them has been vaccinated?

Give your answer as a decimal to 4 places.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This probability is the COMPLEMENT to the probability of the event "No one of 4 has been vaccinated",

and THEREFORE is equal to 1 - %281-0.62%29%5E4 = 1+-+0.38%5E4 = 0.9791.

Solved.
